Long Exposure Experiment with the D90

[Abilene06speed]

I went downtown this weekend to see if I could come up with some interesting shots. I ended up taking several long exposures of a fountain in a small park and some light trails of passing cars. I am pretty happy with how they turned out and I am getting more and more ideas on new things to try. Comments welcome.

The Fountain

The Archaic Fountain

The Grace

Light Trails

Nice work. Long exposure stuff is fun, especially when water is involved. 2 & 4 are sweet. Nice composition.

Those are great. I love long exposure shots. My Canon S3IS only does 15 seconds but thats enough for some cool stuff.

I like the first one. I think the second one would look a lot better if it was HDR. All that you would need is a short second exposure to make the street lights a little darker. Have you thought about putting a gradient layer over the water and the fountain in photoshop. Coloring the water would look cool

I haven't taken any of these photos into CS4 yet. Everything I did was in Lightroom. I will probably play around with a few of them in CS4 later on though. Thanks for the idea.

Well I had a D40 for about a year and then I upgraded to the D90 so I have bought several lenses in the past year. My current setup is as follows:

Nikkor 18-200mm 3.5-5.6
Nikkor 50mm 1.8
Sigma 10-20mm 4-5.6

Should be picking up a Nikkor 105mm 2.8 micro before too long.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments.

Anyone wanting high res pm me an email address and tell me which one you want.
